Lots of people, you have a couple choices,

1) Spacer lvl kit.
2) Thuren/Carli spring lvl kit- “ Highly recommend”
3) bds/icon/rough country/superlift - Typical hight lift “ 4” inch up to 7” I believe.
4) “Mid travel kit”s” typically only like 2-4 inches high... but you gain wheel travel and two big names are Carli and Thuren. Obviously there are more out there, so what are you looking to do?

I’ve been looking at thuren. I plan on turning this ***** over hahaha. No j/k. Sand/mud/overland/crawling. Thinking multi purpose. I don’t want to buy a new truck to beat it. So thinking a 3” lif+- and bigger tires. Tune obviously and gears:banghead: the wife has decided she likes off-roading more than she did sooooo I’m forming a game plan

Buy an old Jeep or Tacoma to beat the **** out of, and use this to tow it there. A long wheelbase 2500 isn’t a great platform for off-roading

I don’t fit in an old jeep or toyota. I’ve seen plenty of off-road 2500.

35s. 2'' Leveling kit.
I sit as high as 2500HD Denalis/Silverados with 6'' lift or same as 1500 with 6'' lifts. Really no need to go any higher. Roof is at 80.5'' and my cab floor is 30''. While there is good ground clearance, 170'' wheelbase is just far a bit too long for heavy offroad use.

Mine is a 5.7 Hemi, and there is a noticeable drop in acceleration from the stop. MPG hasn't been hit much since I picked out lightest 35.

2.5in Rough Country lift. I love it so far. Eventually I want to get something better but for now that’s it. I was tired of the stock wheels and wanted something a little more aggressive. The stance is nice with the -24 offset. And the tires are not too huge, close but no rubbing at all.

Wheels are 18x10 -24 offset
Tires 295/70

Not yet. Been busy with life.... work, kids, college, remodeling my house. Right now it’s just a pavement princess. Mostly just take it back and forth to Home Depot to get material for my remodel.
